According to the Bible, the Earth is flat with four corners. But according to the Qur’an and Sunnah, the Earth is spherical by the consensus of Muslim scholars, including Ibn Hazm, Ibn Taymiyyah, and Ibn al-Qayyim. THREAD 🧵
“He wraps the night over the day and wraps the day over the night” this only makes sense if the Earth is spherical, with night and day rotating around it.

During the journey of the Canaanite Cadmus in search of his sister Europa, it is mentioned that Arabs accompanied him. Then, those Arabs settled in Greece and lived in ancient times in the land of the island of Euboea, whose capital was Chalcis. 1/3
It is clear that these Arabs came from Phoenicia-Canaan (from Latakia to Gaza), as evidenced by the fact that Cadmus is Phoenician, so perhaps their origin is from the Arabs of Phoenicia.

The Crusades were wars to spread Christianity by the sword first called by Pope Sylvester II and launched 93 years later under a false pretext. Crusaders even massacred and converted Jews who weren’t part of the conflict. We’ll explore this through their own historians’ accounts.
After Pope Sylvester II renewed the call, Popes Gregory VII and Urban II followed. Under Urban, the wars began—based on Bible texts and Church teachings to seize the Holy City, convert or kill Muslims, Jews, and other Christians, and plunder their wealth and women.

On Cooperation with Theological Opponents
5th century Baghdad could probably be said to be the time and place where the conflict between Ashʿarīs and Ḥanbalīs [Aṯharīs] was at its peak. Instead of pdf rebuttals, there were street fights and stabbings.
Yet, despite the tensions in Baghdad back then, the Sunnīs from the 2 camps still cooperated to pursue important Islamic goals.

In The Gay Science, Nietzsche’s famous quote is mentioned:
“Today’s loud-mouthed atheists need to be reminded that there are ordinary believers among the masses, just as there are ordinary non-believers and both groups are equally naïve.” 1/5

The atheist mocks modesty in the Muslim world but forgets atheism doesn’t forbid nudity or promote decency. He ignores how U.S. states now allow topless women, sushi served on women’s bodies, naked car washes, and normalized strip dancing. 1/6
Christian texts raise troubling questions: Jesus was stripped during baptism, crucifixion, and circumcision yet no clarity on his remains. Prophets and women were also told to strip, and some baptisms involved nudity. These issues are often overlooked.

Honestly, one of the most frustrating things in Christian apologetics is how they deflect when you bring up the horrors in the Old Testament like 1 Samuel 15:3, where God allegedly commands the killing of infants, women, babies, even animals. 1/4
They’ll say, “Oh, that’s the Old Testament,” or “We’re under a new covenant now.” Okay but do you still believe the Old Testament was divinely inspired? If yes, then you still believe God once ordered genocide. If no, then why is it in your Bible?

THREAD🧵Christianity or Nasraniyyah?
Christians of all sects believe that the correct name for the religion they embrace is (Christianity), and they see that the Holy Qur’an’s calling them Christians is a kind of insinuation or a name that does not express them.

Is the word “Christians” mentioned in the New Testament?
Yes—it’s mentioned three times. The first is in Acts: “The disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.”
However, the writer doesn’t say who gave them this name, implying it wasn’t from the disciples themselves… ⏬
